Okay so I was thinking about card games for some reason, and I wrote up a quick thing for a card game. Which is subject to change. but here is it

Generic Card Game

Description of the set up:
There are two ?decks? in game play the live deck and the dead deck. Each player starts with three randomly dealt out cards from the live deck. Each player must keep track of 5 life points attributed to them, explained later. The players take turns playing the game. 

The Cards:
Each card has a pretty picture and a description of the card. Along with that the card has the game elements which are its command, and its effect. A command is an ability that the player holding the card can use their turn to execute if they wish. An effect is a rule the player must obey so long as they have the card.

The Hand:
Each players hand can have any number of cards, each card can be displayed or hidden at the players discretion unless an effect or command forces them to either show or hide cards.

Turn:
Each player when their turn comes can choose to draw another card from the live deck, execute one card command in their hand, discard a card into the dead deck, or skip their turn. If the player wishes to draw a card, but the live deck is empty, they can choose to shuffle the dead deck and replace it as the live deck, but cannot draw another card till their next turn. The player may be affected by an effect or command that limits their choice of actions or lets them to continue.

Attacking:
Some card commands are attacks. An attack can be aimed at another card, or another player holding no cards at that moment. If the player chooses to attack a card, the card must be discarded into the dead deck unless an effect requires otherwise. If the player chooses to attack another player who holds no cards, then that player must subtract one life point from their selves. If their life points reach 0 they are eliminated from the game.

Challenge:
An affected player can choose to challenge another player?s action! If this happens the challenged player must display the card allowing them to perform the action, and the challenging player must sacrifice their next turn.

I think I wanna go the jokish silly sort of feel so I'm thinking cards like

Postal worker, He's postal duh, command: go postal! every other placer discards 2 cards. effects: If I go I'm taking someone with me! If this card is discarded for any reason you must discard another.

Just a thought

MODIFICATION!

The set up:
2 decks, live and dead, 5 positions for played cards attributed to each player. At the beginning each player is dealt 5 cards that are to be hidden from eachothers view.

Turn:
on a turn you can execute a command of any card already in play, skip your turn or place a card on a position face up to put that card in play.
While a card is in play it's effect must be obeyed by all whom are to be affected by it. An attacking card can only attack a player who has no cards in play, otherwise it can illiminate one card.
